People are having fun solving puzzles in clever ways. This post is an exceptionally clever way of solving a puzzle in an unexpected way, using forensic data analysis, which is itself something of interest to a lot of us.
It's too easy to cheat at Wordle, even if you don't know what html/javascript is. Just open a new browser, solve it there, and enter the solution in your main browser.
